...smell!!!!

...ahhhhhhhh

I absolutely adore the fragrance of lilacs!

 I have even been fortunate to visit Mackinac Island

during their lilac festival

and all I can say is...

slice o' heaven!!!!

and there are so many

you feel like a lilac fairy princess

gracefully stepping on them underfoot!!

Spring brings us sooooo much,

all we have to do is take the time to

well ~

smell it!!!!

so

under the lilacs I shall be

dancing with silk ribbons

until the last little purple bud opens

~

being grateful for the beauty that surround me

and

absorbing all the joy and happiness I can...

to pass along to you

 dear ones!!

xo

...just hanging out!!

...hello dear ones!

oh-so-lovely vintage slips

just hanging out to dry!

I miss all of you!

~ and I will be back to visiting all of you soon

but please forgive me,

if I just sit awhile

enjoying a cup of tea with my mom,

creating pretties in the studio :)

I've soooo been enjoying having her here...

I'm thinking of how to keep her here permanently!!

Today

we found these lovely vintage slips

that will soon be hand dyed

and.....

will be decorated with paper dolls

well

sort of...

as the paper dolls will actually be fabric!!

They looked so lovely drying in the sunshine ~

AND

dear readers...

I'm soooooo excited to share this with you...

These are the paper dolls we have been working on!!

See the mini paper doll house??

It has tiny little white lights strung on the porch

and

a chandelier inside!!

~ ooohhhhhh ~

do you like the weathervane?

I bought this adorable little porch from a charming esty shop named: 

 Cinderella Moments

and added a few things from behind the curtain!!

and dear, creative Beth has been woking with me

to come up with my very own paper doll series from her fabulous tattered vintage floral wallpaper!

(~ love the chicken under her arm, and she has wellies to put on!!)

These ozma signature dollies will be available soon in my etsy shop

ready made or to assemble yourself! 

I hope you enjoyed your visit

thank you for stopping by  ~

I enjoy reading all of your comments and

soon I will have 100 followers!!

  I'm planning an extra special giveaway to celebrate,

so visit again soon.

hugs!!
